This project is reversible. You have a completely different look on each side. This is the reverse side.

When changing color, close all your stitches as indicated until 2 loops remain on your hook, yarn over and pull through 2 loops with the new color and begin using the new color.

When changing color every other row, it’s not necessary to cut off the yarn. Drop the color not in use. For instance, every other row is white. There is no need to cut off the white at all throughout. You will carry it up the side unless you prefer to cut it. When you change color and there are more than two rows between the next time that color is needed, you should cut off the yarn for that color because it’s too much to carry up and will show and/or snag. If you used only two colors throughout, you wouldn’t need to cut at all.

Color Sequence: You are welcome to use any color sequence you like, of course. Any combination would work. Try it with only two colors so you won’t need to cut the yarn. Or, use one neutral color and use scrap yarn for every other row. I used: *white, CA, white, CB, white, CC, white, CD, [white, CA] twice, [white, CB] twice, [white, CC] twice, [white, CD] twice, rep from *.

Tunisian Twisted Knit Stitch (ttwks): Using hook, pull the front vertical bar toward you until the back vertical bar is exposed, insert hook from front of work to back of work, through those two vertical bars, yarn over, pull loop through. Note: A knit stitch can be twisted to the right or to the left. For this pattern, I am using the first one shown in the video. Right-Handed Video | Left-Handed Video

Bind off, inserting as for Modified Simple Stitch: insert hook in side-to-side motion under front vertical bar and under top horizontal bar, yarn over and pull through both insertion points AND through the loop on the hook (slip stitch made). Note: See second method in this video. Right-Handed Video | Left Handed Video

Repeat slip stitch in this fashion to the end of row, fasten off.
